| indole-3-acetaldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses nad-dependent conversion of indole-3-acetaldehyde to indole-3-acetic acid; isolated from ustilago maydis; genbank u74468 Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- Synonym: iad1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| indole-3-acetaldehyde reductase | <enzyme> Nad(p)h-dependent Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| indole-3-acetamide hydrolase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of indole-3-acetamide to indolacetic acid Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- Synonym: tms2 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| indole-3-acetate beta-glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of indol-3-ylacetic acid and udp-glucose to 1-o-(indol-3-ylacetyl)-beta-d-glucose and udp Registry number: EC 2.4.1.121 Synonym: udp-glucose-indol-3-ylacetate beta-d-glucosyltransferase, 1-o-(indol-3-ylacetyl)-beta-d-glucose synthase, iab glucosyltransferase, udp-glucose-indoleacetic acid glucosyl transferase, iaa-glucose synthetase, iaglu gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| indole-3-ethanol oxidase | <enzyme> Involved in conversion of indole-3-ethanol to indole-3-acetic acid; isolated from seeds of the bean phaseolus vulgaris; not stimulated by nadp or fad; do not confuse with nad- or nadp-dependent indole-3-ethanol oxidases Registry number: EC 1.1.- Synonym: tryptophol oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| indole-3-glycerol-phosphate synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme in the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway. Chemical name: 1-(2-Carboxyphenylamino)-1-deoxy-D-ribulose-5-phosphate carboxy-lyase (cyclizing) Registry number: EC 4.1.1.48 (12 Dec 1998) |
| indole acetic acid | <biochemistry, plant biology> The most common naturally occurring auxin. Promotes growth in excised plant organs, induces adventitious roots, inhibits axillary bud growth, regulates gravitropism. (18 Nov 1997) |
| indole test | A test used to identify members of the Enterobacteriaceae family and other Gram-negative bacilli, based on the ability of the organisms to produce indole from tryptophan. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accelerated reaction | A response occurring in a shorter time than expected; the cutaneous manifestations occurring during the period between the second and tenth day following smallpox vaccination; because it is intermediate between a primary reaction and an immediate reaction, it is regarded as evidence of some degree of resistance. Synonym: vaccinoid reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid reaction | Any test by which an acid reaction is recognised such as the change of blue litmus paper to red, an excess of hydrogen ions over hydroxide ions in aqueous solution indicated by a pH value less than 7 (at 22캜). Compare: dissociation constant of water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute-phase reaction | <immunology, rheumatology> Refers to the changes in synthesis of certain proteins within the serum during an inflammatory response, which provides rapid protection for the host against microorganisms via non-specific defense mechanisms. It consists of fever, an increase in inflammatory humoral factors, and an increased synthesis by hepatocytes of a number of proteins or glycoproteins usually found in the plasma; the reaction is mediated by endogenous pyrogens, the hypothalamus, adrenal hormones, and other factors. (12 Jul 2000) |
| acute situational reaction | An acute emotional reaction related to extreme environmental stress. Synonym: acute situational reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute stress reaction | A sudden bout of anxiety that is often accompanied by the features of hyperventilation (tingling around mouth and in fingertips, rapid breathing, faintness or fainting). (27 Sep 1997) |
| addition reaction | <chemistry> Any reaction in which two chemicals combine to form a single chemical. (15 Jan 1998) |
